U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated on May 21 that Iran must surrender its highly enriched uranium, stating that the U.S. would likely destroy the material after securing it. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the U.S. will secure the uranium, which he noted the country neither needs nor wants, and will therefore most likely destroy it. He added that the U.S. and Iran are currently in negotiations and the outcome remains to be seen. Trump has previously made similar demands. On May 10, he stated that the U.S. Space Force was monitoring Iranian enriched uranium buried under debris, according to U.S. sources.

As Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen below $78,000, structural signs of market weakness are accumulating, according to an analysis by The Block reporter Naga Avan-Nomayo. He cited several key bearish factors, including four consecutive trading days of spot ETF outflows, large-scale long position liquidations in the futures market, and a negative spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for nine straight trading days. Avan-Nomayo noted that despite the recent liquidations, leverage has not been sufficiently cleared from the market, leaving instability. However, he added that billions of dollars in stablecoin liquidity are waiting on the sidelines, creating a strong possibility for BTC to recover above $80,000 once that capital begins to enter the market in earnest.

The CLARITY Act's passage through the Senate could be delayed, reported Eleanor Terrett, host of Crypto in America. She said via X that the bill now faces competition for floor time in June with other major legislation, including a budget reconciliation bill, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and a housing bill that passed the House this week. Terrett noted growing realistic concerns about whether the Senate can handle more than two major bills simultaneously amid a tight schedule. Consequently, she suggested that some legislation, including the CLARITY Act, might be pushed to July.

Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe has stated that the likelihood of Bitcoin (BTC) experiencing a significant decline from its current levels is low. He noted that while U.S. Treasury yields and oil prices have recently surged, a stabilization in these two indicators could allow both the stock market and BTC to resume their upward trends. Van de Poppe projected that if BTC maintains the key support level of $75,000, it could rise to around $90,000, where the 50-week moving average is located on the weekly chart.

Billionaire entrepreneur and one-time crypto advocate Mark Cuban has sold most of his Bitcoin. Speaking on a recent podcast, Cuban said he concluded that cryptocurrency has failed to serve as an effective hedge against fiat currency devaluation and geopolitical instability, leading him to lose faith and reduce his holdings, CoinDesk reported. Cuban noted that during the turmoil of the Iran war, he had viewed Bitcoin as the best alternative to gold for hedging. However, he observed that when gold prices rose, Bitcoin fell, and it also dropped when the U.S. dollar weakened. The expected hedging effect never materialized, a point he found disappointing. He added that he was more disappointed in Bitcoin than in other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), which he dismissed as "the rest of the junk."

Although Ethereum (ETH) has dropped 55% from its peak, the buying pressure needed to absorb the sell-off has vanished, according to an analysis by on-chain firm EasyOnChain cited by CryptoPotato. The firm expressed particular concern not just about the price decline itself, but about the widening gap between the derivatives market and spot demand. EasyOnChain suggested that ETH appears to have already entered a mid-to-long-term bear market, adding that reduced institutional participation, as seen in ETF flows, is a clear warning sign. The analysis also highlighted that the Coinbase Premium has been negative throughout May, which suggests that U.S. institutional investors are leaving the market.

Everclear (CLEAR), formerly known as Connext, announced via its official X account that it has decided to phase out the Everclear Foundation, its development company, and its products. The team explained that while developing a solver-based model for rebalancing cross-chain funds, it struggled with profitability despite once reaching a monthly trading volume of $500 million. A focus on B2B partnerships over the past six months failed to secure revenue in time, as the project's funds were depleted before partners could begin operations. The protocol has since been terminated, with all remaining deposits withdrawn by users and partners, and the Everclear UI and chain are no longer operational. The announcement added that if any funds remain after settling debts, the team is considering a token buyback of between $50,000 and $200,000, although nothing has been confirmed.
